Review on ๐Ÿ”ช Enhanced XLC Pro Cable and Housing Cutter by Chuck Chen

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great price and works great!

For years I've used plain old tool kit cutters or a dremel to cut bike wires. This is always my least favorite part of the service. Cables are pinched and housings are torn. It takes several minutes to cut all the cables, especially twisted shifter cables. After all, the Dremel melts the cable housing and I regularly break the cutting wheels before the job is done. For my latest build I finally decided to invest in a pair of custom cable cutters and I'm amazed at the difference. I decided to take the risk of buying these cutters rather than spending twice as much on more established brands and I'm very happy with the result. They cut almost effortlessly. A clean cut with minimal effort. It literally takes two seconds to cut through the cord and it's a nice clean cut. I don't even have to file the ends of the cable after cutting. That's a lot, and it's worth having a dedicated pair of cord cutters, even if you only use them occasionally. They relieve many headaches.

Pros
  • Wire Cutters
Cons
  • Slightly Crumpled
